About our wood floor repair in Coundongate
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can typically put it right, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Coundongate questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover Coundongate?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Coundongate and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
If you manage property in Coundongate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
